In Which People Say Very Nice Things About Mouse

So my editor published some “advance praise” for Mouse, and I just wanted to share it all in one spot. I might also want to keep it in one place so I can periodically check back to remind myself while writing the next project that complete despair is probably unwarranted. And now: people saying nice things about Mouse!

“A clever and compelling mash-up of magical realism and fantasy, Mouse will hold you in its mystical grip until the very last page.”

“A complex and tangled story intense with significance.
Highly recommended.”

—Farah Mendlesohn

“Beautifully written, part ghost-story, part mystery, part love letter to anime and part mind-expanding exploration of teen relationships, the wonderful novel Mouse is unputdownable. From the opening interactions between Mouse, Bliss, Anna and Kai to the final gorgeous pages and surprising endings, and beginnings all over again, this is a book that will make you believe in the impossible.”
